BlackBerry maker to filter porn in Indonesia

Research in Motion said that it will filter pornographic content for its 2 million users in Indonesia due to a request by the Indonesian government. The government has proposed a ban on all pornographic content and has spread that ban to mobile devices.

"Indonesian Communications and Information Minister Tiffatul Sembiring has called for tighter internet controls and wants RIM to block access to porn sites to comply with an anti-pornography law in the world’s most populous Muslim nation."

"Research In Motion confirms that it shares Minister Tifatul Sembirings sense of urgency on this matter and it is fully committed to working with Indonesias carriers to put in place a prompt, compliant filtering solution for Blackberry subscribers in Indonesia as soon as possible."
